Give poor Lou (My Hero) a little credit photo is 1938 was trying to stretch a single into a double and was out only by 6 inches!! Now if it was Babe he would have been out by ten feet! Thats why he always hit a homerun to avoid photos like this!

Boy, that's a great image, Mark. I just love the body language and contorted face of the Cubbie mid-fielder as he smacks Gehrig right in the back of his noggin! That had to hurt, even the Iron Man.

Thanks guys for the kind words.
David/Jimmy,
You also have take note that this is from 1938, so you have to figure his illness was staring to manifest. Perhaps a younger/healthier version of Lou would've made it standing!

He is my hero as well. Seems a very worthy subject for such affection and adoration.

Best,
Mark

I picked up my first two Campy photos this week. The image with Lasie is a promotional photo for a 1959 episode of the TV series.

Terrific pick-ups Ben. I'm happy you left one for me! Here it is. This 1960 World Series - Maz Hits His Historic Bottom of the 9th Walk-Off Home Run to Bring the World Series Title to the Iron City.

Over the last dozen years, I've seen scores of TYPE 3 photos of Maz making his way round the bases, but I just can't remember any TYPE 1's that came up for sale (and I've looked and looked!!). So I was especially pleased to add this one to my collection...

Talk about the umpire being on top of the play. No chance of missing that one.

This painting is not for everybody (maybe very few), but I like it. I was the only bidder in the Paragon auctions of this painting by Steve Sax so I got it for $200. It's Tommie Agee. Steve Sax's paintings tend to be multidimensional as you can see in the 2nd picture.

A local guy restores and sells stadium chairs. Had him restore these seats from Ebbets Field. The chairs are more blue, but the flash darkened the color.
